BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity among children and adolescents are serious public health issues worldwide. A better understanding of the relationships between obesity and lifestyle factors is necessary for effective prevention and management of obesity in youth. AIMS: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of overweight/obesity and associated factors among schoolchildren aged 12–19 years at Beni Mellal city, Morocco. METHODS: A school based cross sectional study was carried out. A total of 516 children were included in the study. The nutritional status was classified according to the reference curves of WHO (2007). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with overweight/obesity. The association between dependent and independent variables were assessed using odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The prevalence of overweight was 12.40% and that of obesity was 5.20%. Overweight and obesity were statistically associated with gender (Odds Ratio (OR) = 10.15[95% CI 1.37–3.81], p = 0.001); skipping breakfast (OR = 9.19 [95% CI 1.42–5.17], p = 0.002) and eating cake, pastry and biscuit 1 to 3 times per week (OR = 4.14 [95% CI 1.02–3.25], p = 0.04) and 4 or more times a week (OR = 7.83 [95% CI 1.31–4.66], p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that prevalence of overweight/obesity among school-aged children in Beni Mellal city was high. Thus, promoting healthy dietary practices, particularly improving fruit and vegetable intake is essential to reduce the burden of overweight and obesity. Furthermore, it is important to strengthen nutrition education about avoiding junk food consumption and encouraging regular physical activity.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: O Estado de São Paulo passou de uma situação de alta (1986) para baixa prevalência de cárie aos 12 anos de idade (2002). O declínio (62%) explica-se pela fluoretação das águas de abastecimento, pelo uso de dentifrícios fluoretados e pela ampliação do acesso às ações coletivas de saúde bucal, na qual se inserem os procedimentos coletivos (PC). Estes foram incorporados na rotina das Unidades de Saúde do SUS e englobam atividades anuais de educação e prevenção em saúde bucal em espaços sociais, principalmente escolas. Objetivo: Comparar a prevalência de cárie entre adolescentes que participaram ou não, quando crianças, dos PC. Métodos: A população foi constituída por 219 estudantes do 1o ano do ensino médio (14 a 22 anos), egressos de escolas públicas que recebiam os PC de 1a a 4a série (A), 1a a 8a série (B) ou que não recebiam os PC (C), no município de Embu, SP, em 2005. A variável dependente, ocorrência de cárie, foi medida pelo índice CPOD. Variáveis socioeconômicas, de hábitos de higiene bucal e de padrões dietéticos compuseram modelos bivariados e de regressão múltipla para avaliar sua capacidade em predizer três desfechos: CPOD1; CPOD4; C1. Resultados: O CPOD da amostra foi 2,54 (IC95% 2,14-2,94). A prevalência de cárie na adolescência não se mostrou diferente em função da participação nos PC na infância. Houve diferença em relação aos componentes cariado, predominante no grupo C (p=0,008) e obturado, predominante nos grupos A e B (p=0,002) e na porcentagem de livres de cárie, menor no grupo B (p=0,008). O sexo feminino e os hábitos dietéticos na infância e na adolescência estiveram relacionados com o CPOD após 8 e 4 anos de PC. Conclusões - Neste contexto, os PC não foram suficientes para superar os efeitos produzidos por outros determinantes do processo saúde-doença e causar impacto favorável em geração futura.Introduction: Sao Paulo State has passed from a situation of high (1986) to low prevalence of dental caries in 12 years old children (2002). The decrease (62%) is explained by public water supply fluoridation, by the use of fluoridated dentifrices and by the expanding of access to collective actions in oral health, in which are included the collective procedures (CP). These procedures were incorporated in the routine of the Primary Health Assistance Units of the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) and include annual activities of education and prevention in oral health in social locations, mainly schools. Objective: Compare caries prevalence between adolescents who participated or not, during childhood, of the CP. Methods: The population comprised 219 students of 9th grade of high school (ages between 14 and 22), that were students of public schools which received the CP from 1st to 4th grade (A), from 1st to 8th grade (B) or who didnt receive any CP (C) in the city of Embu, State of Sao Paulo, in 2005. The dependent variable (caries occurrence) was measured by the DMFT index. Socio-economics variables, oral hygiene habits and dietetic patterns composed bivariated and multiple regression models in order to evaluate their capacity to predict three outcomes: DMFT1; DMFT4; D1. Results: The DMF index of the sample was 2.54 (CI95% 2.14-2.94). Caries prevalence in adolescence was not shown to be different concerning the participation in the CP during childhood. There was a difference regarding the decayed component, predominant in group C (p=0.008), the filled component, predominant in groups A and B (p=0.002) and in the percentage of caries-free, which the smallest was observed in group B (p=0.008). Female gender and daily consumption of cariogenic dietary were related with DMFT index, after 8 or 4 years of CP. Conclusions - In this context, CP were not sufficient to transcend the effects produced by other determinants of the health/disease process and cause an auspicious impact on future generation.

Full textAbstract:
Despite knowledge about the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), young adults continue to participate in sexual risk behaviors such as unprotected sexual intercourse. This study examines factors that influence condom use in adults aged 18-24 years in the United States. Using secondary data from the 1998, 2000, and 2001 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to assess the factors influencing condom use stratified by gender and study year. A p-value of <0.05 and 95% confidence intervals were used to determine statistical significance throughout all analysis performed. Univariate analysis found that increased age and being male were associated with increased odds of condom use. Multivariate analysis stratified by study year found that in 1998 increased age and unemployment was associated with increased odds of condom use. In 2000/2001, increased age was the only factor associated with increased odds of condom use. Being female was associated with decreased odds of condom use in that study year. When stratified by gender, only increased age was associated with increased condom use. The study results suggest that the factors influencing condom use vary between gender and year. Since different factors impact condom use for each gender, the interventions designed to increase condom use must be centered on those factors. Since age was one of the consistent factors positively associated with condom use, interventions must begin earlier to affect the decision-making processes of young adults.

Full textAbstract:
The evolution of fiscal spending in nutrition, health and education of children and adolescents between 2000–2005, has not been following the same pattern of growth as that of GDP in the same period of time in Peru. These important components of public policy in childhood and adolescence have not been properly attended with the larger resources collected by the State, specially in the nutrition area given that fiscal real expenditure in that area fell in spite of the rapid growth of GDP during the period of our study. With the figures found in the SIAF, the structure of publicexpenditure in the indicated components has been constructed, according to the expenditure budgetary functions, allowing us to establish a base that allows us to make proposals on improvements in public policy in the formation of the human capital since childhood.La evolución del gasto público en nutrición, salud y educación de niños, niñas y adolescentes en el período 2000–2005 no ha seguido una tendencia similar al crecimiento del PBI para el mismo período en el Perú. Estos importantes rubros de la política pública en infancia y adolescencia no han sido fuertemente atendidos con los mayores recursos recaudados por el Estado, en particular el de nutrición que tuvo cada vez menos recursos del gasto público en proporción al crecimiento que experimentó el PBI en dicho período de estudio. Con las cifras encontradas en el SIAF se ha construido la estructura del gasto público en los rubros antes señalados,según las funciones presupuestales de gasto, lo que ha establecido una base que permite proponer mejoras en la política pública de formación de capital humano desde la infancia.

Abstract The purpose of this qualitative research has been to reflect on the public policies of reproductive health carried out in Peru during the government of Alejandro Toledo. The issue has also been analyzed from the feminist jurisprudence perspective in the context of how these political actions have fostered discrimination against women, especially adolescent girls. This study argues that of the Reproductive policies in Peru have lacked solidity and have been exposed to constant changes in orientation, whether influenced by the pressure of actors such as the Catholic Church, civilian organizations or through international treaties. Keywords Reproductive health rights, Peruvian adolescents, public policies, family planning.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Public Health - MPHBackground: The factors that underlie teenage pregnancies are complex and multifactorial. The prevailing perception is that teenage pregnancies are increasing in South Africa. However, the empirical extent and trends in teenage births in the Western Cape Province are not well understood. A systematic analysis of routine health information for the data element.Delivery in facility to women under 18 years for the period 1 April 2000 to 31 March 2012 is presented in order to contribute to documenting and understanding how this problem manifests in the Western Cape Province.Objectives:The objectives of the study were to describe the trends in the number of deliveries for women under the age of 18 years in the Western Cape Province for the period 1 April 2000 until 31 March 2012, and to compare the trends within and between districts. A secondary aim was to explore the quality and usefulness of Routine Health Information in the Western Cape Province focusing on the dataset for deliveries for women under the age of 18 years.Methods:The data for the Province extracted from the Sinjani system (the data repository for health information management in the Western Cape Department of Health) was subjected to a trend analysis at the Provincial, District and Sub-District level. The absolute numbers of all deliveries, and deliveries for women under the age of 18 years as well as proportions of deliveries for women under the age of 18 years were compared across districts, years and seasons. Results were discussed with senior managers in the Department of Health as compared to performance indicators presented in workshop settings to triangulate and help interpret findings.Findings The key finding is that both the absolute number of deliveries for women under the age of 18 years and the deliveries for women under the age of 18 years relative to all deliveries have declined steadily since 2007, while 8 absolute numbers of deliveries in 2012 were only slightly higher than in 2000-2001, despite an increase of 19.4% in the total population of the Province between 2002 and 2011. Despite the decline in the number of deliveries for women under the age of 18 years, the number of deliveries remains high. Seasonal increases in numbers of deliveries coincide with school holidays in most districts. The data analysis also revealed challenges with the quality of the data, and that it is not possible to determine the age distribution of deliveries across women under 18 years from the provincial data set. Routinely collected data do not permit analysis or comparison of births at the ward level where significant socio-economic variations are likely to influence fertility.Conclusions and Recommendations:The data did not support widespread perceptions of rapidly increasing teen births. The declining birth rates and relatively stable proportion of under 18 births relative to all births suggest that adding new indicators throughout the entire routine information system is not justified on public health or economic grounds. However, more detailed and disaggregated evidence is needed to inform locally tailored interventions and could be obtained from alternate sources of information such as point prevalence surveys, annual surveys, or data collection at sentinel sites. While teenage birth rates are not increasing, they remain high. It is recommended that additional service delivery models be explored to ensure that sexual reproductive health services are strengthened and delivered in a manner that would be acceptable to young people. Further, it is recommended that programmatic interventions that target the sexual reproductive health choices made by young people be scaled up in partnership with intersectoral partners and communities in order to mitigate against seasonal increases in the number of deliveries for women under 18 years of age.

Resumo: Os Sistemas de Informação em Saúde são fundamentais para o conhecimento da situação de saúde da população e o direcionamento das políticas de saúde. O Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) do Ministério da Saúde, cujo instrumento de coleta de dados é a Declaração de Nascido Vivo (DNV), foi implantado com o intuito de obter informações para subsidiar propostas para o grupo materno-infantil. Por meio de estudo transversal, que analisou 14.444 DNVs de Campinas (SP) em 2001, estudou-se a viabilidade da utilização dos dados do SINASC para descrever o perfil de mães e recém-nascidos (RNs) e determinar fatores de risco para baixo peso de nascimento (BPN), parto cesáreo e gravidez na adolescência. Este perfil foi identificado por: local de ocorrência do parto, características sociodemográficas maternas, gestacionais, do parto e dos RNs. Os fatores de risco foram determinados pela correlação entre as variáveis, utilizando análise de regressão logística. A proporção de captação do SINASC foi de 99,1%, e as DNVs foram preenchidas em quase 100% dos itens. A maioria dos nascimentos ocorreu em hospitais, sendo o maior percentual de filhos de moradoras das áreas dos Distritos de Saúde (DS) Noroeste e Sudoeste (com baixas condições de vida), onde ocorreram os piores resultados. O percentual de mães adolescentes foi de 17,8%; a maior concentração de nascimentos foi para mulheres com 20 a 34 anos; 60,6% não trabalhavam fora, 35,9% não tinham companheiro, 37,8% tinham até sete anos de escolaridade e 47,1%, de oito a onze anos. A paridade foi variável, sendo a maior ocorrência entre mulheres sem filhos ou com um; 99,6% compareceram pelo menos uma vez ao pré-natal; 74,4% realizaram mais de seis consultas. Associou-se à gravidez na adolescência: morar em DS com baixas condições de vida, não ter ocupação ou companheiro. As adolescentes grávidas apresentaram risco de pré-natal inadequado. A maioria das gestações foram únicas, a termo, com RNs masculinos, brancos, com pequena proporção de hipóxia e com 1,0% de anomalias. O percentual de prematuridade foi de 7,1%. Houve alta incidência de cesarianas, sendo maior o risco nas gestações duplas e nos partos prematuros e para mulheres com companheiro, as maiores de 20 anos, as com melhor escolaridade, as trabalhadoras fora do lar, as moradoras em DS com melhores condições, as com mais consultas, as primíparas, com um ou dois filhos. A média de peso ao nascer foi 3.142g; 25,7% dos RNs nasceram com peso insuficiente e 9,1% com baixo peso. Associou-se ao BPN: prematuridade, baixa escolaridade materna, menos de sete consultas e RNs femininos. A configuração da DNV não permitiu identificar partos da rede pública ou da rede privada e incluir adequadamente as mulheres em união consensual. Os agrupamentos do número de consultas de pré-natal não estão de acordo com o parâmetro do Ministério da Saúde. Este estudo mostrou que há viabilidade da utilização dos dados do SINASC para o planejamento de ações de saúde. Além disso, a distribuição dos resultados, pelos diferentes DS, mostrou que o perfil do grupo materno-infantil não é homogêneo na cidade
Abstract: Health Information Systems are fundamental to the knowledge of health status of the population and to manage health policies. The Information System on Live Births (SINASC) was developed by the Brazilian Health Ministry and designed to improve quality of information on newborns and on pregnant women, in order to support health proposals to infant-maternal group. This system has been implemented since 1990 and Live Birth Certificate (LBC) is the document to collect data. Throughout a cross-sectional study 14,444 LBC from the city of Campinas, SP, in 2001, were analysed in order to determine SINASC's viability. Mothers' and newborns' profiles were described and risk factors for low birth weight (LBW), caesarean-sections and pregnancy in adolescence were showed. The profiles were described according to mothers¿ social-demographic characteristics and those related to their pregnancies and to the newborns. The assessment of the association among variables was performed through logistic regression. The study showed excellent coverage of the SINASC (99.1%) and almost 100% of the variables were filled. Most of the births occured in health services of the city and the higher proportion was of babies from women who lived in Health District (HD) Northwest and Southwest (in low conditions of life), where the worst results occured. The percentage of adolescent mothers were 17.8%; the highest proportion of births was among women between 20 and 34 years old; 60.6% of all mothers didn't have jobs, 35.9% were single; 37.8% studied until seven years and 47.1% studied for about eight and eleven years. The number of children were variable, but the higher concentration was on women with no children or just one. Almost all women at least had one prenatal care appointment; 74.4% had more than six medical visits. Pregnancy in adolescence was associated with women living in low conditions of life, without husbands or incomes and who had inadequate prenatal care. Most of the gestations were single and the babies were mature, most of them were male, white, born with a low proportion of hipoxia and 1% of them showed malformations. The percentage of premature babies were 7.1%. The incidence of caesarean-sections was very high (54.9%) and the risk factors for them were: twin gestations, premature birth and women with husbands, having better education level, with jobs, living in good places, having more prenatal care visits, with no children and with one or two. The average birth weight was 3,142g; 25.7% of the babies were born weighing between 2,500g and 2,999g and 9.1% of them weighing less than 2,500g. The risk factors for LBW were: premature birth, low educational level, less than seven prenatal care visits and female baby. This study showed the viability of SINASC to help plan health activities for the infant maternal group. Furthermore, the results in different HD, showed that the mothers¿ and newborns¿ characteristics are different in the city

Discussão: Este estudo mostrou resultados semelhantes quando comparado a outros países europeus e fornece dados epidemiológicos úteis para avaliar a relevância de incluir a vacina contra varicela Zoster no nosso Programa Nacional de VacinaçãoObjectives: Varicella is a common usually benign and auto-limited disease in children, but can lead to severe complications and hospitalization. With this study, we aim to analyze all varicella hospitalizations in order to provide epidemiological information to help outlining preventive policies. Design/Methods: We assessed all varicella hospitalizations in children from 0 to 17 years of age, from 2000 to 2015, in mainland public Portuguese hospitals, using a Portuguese administrative database. Seasonality, geographic distribution, severity, complications, risk factors and need of diagnostic and treatment procedures were analyzed by age groups. Results: A total of 5,120 hospitalizations were registered, with an annual rate of 17.2 hospitalizations/100,000 inhabitants. Higher number of hospitalizations occurred during the summer period and in Southern regions. The median length of stay was of four days. The main associated complications were impetigo, cellulitis and pneumonia. Of the total of patients, 0.8% were immunocompromised and 0.1% were pregnant. Total hospitalization costs during the 16-year period were estimated to be 7,110,718.70€. Discussion: This study showed similar results when compared to other European countries and provides useful epidemiological data to evaluate the relevance of including the Varicella Zoster Vaccine in our National Vaccination Program

Os custos totais de hospitalização durante o período de 16 anos foram estimados em 7.110.718,70 €.
Discussão: Este estudo mostrou resultados semelhantes quando comparado a outros países europeus e fornece dados epidemiológicos úteis para avaliar a relevância de incluir a vacina contra varicela Zoster no nosso Programa Nacional de VacinaçãoObjectives: Varicella is a common usually benign and auto-limited disease in children, but can lead to severe complications and hospitalization. With this study, we aim to analyze all varicella hospitalizations in order to provide epidemiological information to help outlining preventive policies. Design/Methods: We assessed all varicella hospitalizations in children from 0 to 17 years of age, from 2000 to 2015, in mainland public Portuguese hospitals, using a Portuguese administrative database. Seasonality, geographic distribution, severity, complications, risk factors and need of diagnostic and treatment procedures were analyzed by age groups. Results: A total of 5,120 hospitalizations were registered, with an annual rate of 17.2 hospitalizations/100,000 inhabitants. Higher number of hospitalizations occurred during the summer period and in Southern regions. The median length of stay was of four days. The main associated complications were impetigo, cellulitis and pneumonia. Of the total of patients, 0.8% were immunocompromised and 0.1% were pregnant. Total hospitalization costs during the 16-year period were estimated to be 7,110,718.70€. Discussion: This study showed similar results when compared to other European countries and provides useful epidemiological data to evaluate the relevance of including the Varicella Zoster Vaccine in our National Vaccination Program

Full textAbstract:
Pediatric psychopharmacology is a relatively young field. Through the decade of the 1990s and into the early 2000s, there was an unprecedented increase in the number of new psychotropic drugs and new formulations of older drugs. During this period, there was also a series of well-intended federal policies that provided pressure and incentives for pharmaceutical companies to conduct studies of new medications in children. The National Institutes of Health also provided funding for investigator-initiated clinical trials. Although still less than optimal, we now have a body of data on stimulants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and atypical antipsychotics. These three psychotropic drug classes are the most commonly used in children and adolescents. This chapter charts the rise in use of these drug classes and presents their risks and benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Fifteen years ago, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett proposed emerging adulthood as a new life stage at ages 18-29, one distinct from both the adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that eventually follows. Rather than marrying and becoming parents in their early 20s, most people in developed countries now postpone these transitions until at least their late 20s, spending these years in self-focused explorations as they try out different possibilities in their education, careers, and relationships. Since Arnett proposed his theory of emerging adulthood in 2000, it has turned into a full-fledged academic field, and the ideas have been applied in practical areas as well, such as mental health and education. The Oxford Handbook of Emerging Adulthood brings together for the first time the wealth of theory and research that has developed in this new and burgeoning field. It includes chapters by many prominent scholars on a wide range of topics, such as brain development, relations with friends, relations with parents, expectations for marriage, sexual relationships, media use, substance use and abuse, and resilience. The chapters both summarize the existing research and point the way to new prospects for research in the years to come.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This review aims to answer the following questions: (1) how knowledgeable are adolescent girls in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) about menstruation and how prepared are they for reaching menarche, (2) who are their sources of information regarding menstruation, (3) how well do the adults around them respond to their information needs, (4) what negative health and social effects do adolescents experience as a result of menstruation, and (5) how do adolescents respond when they experience these negative effects and what practices do they develop as a result? Using a structured search strategy, articles that investigate young girls’ preparedness for menarche, knowledge of menstruation, and practices surrounding menstrual hygiene in LMIC were identified. A total of 81 studies published in peer-reviewed journals between the years 2000 and 2015 that describe the experiences of adolescent girls from 25 different countries were included. Adolescent girls in LMIC are often uninformed and unprepared for menarche. Information is primarily obtained from mothers and other female family members who are not necessarily well equipped to fill gaps in girls’ knowledge. Exclusion and shame lead to misconceptions and unhygienic practices during menstruation. Rather than seek medical consultation, girls tend to miss school, self-medicate, and refrain from social interaction. Also problematic is that relatives and teachers are often not prepared to respond to the needs of girls. LMIC must recognize that lack of preparation, knowledge, and poor practices surrounding menstruation are key impediments not only to girls’ education, but also to self-confidence and personal development. In addition to investment in private latrines with clean water for girls in both schools and communities, countries must consider how to improve the provision of knowledge and understanding and how to better respond to the needs of adolescent girls.

Full textAbstract:
Tobacco use remains the single most important preventable cause of premature death and disability in the United States and is a critical health issue for our nation’s youths. Cigarette smoking is the most common form of tobacco use among adolescents (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2001), with over 90% of adult smokers initiating smoking at or before age 19 years (Mowery, Brick, & Farrelly, 2000). Consequently, reduction of tobacco use during adolescence is especially critical before lifelong smoking habits are established. Current national health objectives for children and adolescents focus on reducing health risks related to tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000). Specific objectives include reducing the initiation of tobacco use among children and adolescents, reducing their average age of first use of tobacco products, increasing cessation attempts by current smokers, and reducing the proportion of children who are regularly exposed to tobacco smoke in the home. These health objectives are especially important for children and adolescents with cancer, who may be at even greater risk than their healthy peers for tobacco-related health problems because of their compromised health status (Hollen & Hobbie, 1996). Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has similar serious consequences for the child with cancer (Alligne & Stoddard, 1997; Cook & Strachan, 1999). Interventions that attempt to prevent, reduce, or terminate tobacco use and ETS exposure could therefore contribute to a decrease in the morbidity and mortality of patients treated for cancer. This chapter reviews the prevalence of tobacco use, the magnified health effects associated with tobacco use, and some of the correlates associated with tobacco use among young patients treated for cancer. We also describe tobacco interventions that have been conducted with this population and discuss how health care providers involved in the treatment or long-term care of childhood cancer patients can assist their high-risk patients in making healthy lifestyle choices, including the decision to abstain from, reduce, or quit smoking and to avoid environmental tobacco exposures. Tobacco use is a significant behavioral health problem that poses serious health risks for young patients treated for cancer.

Full textAbstract:
Before problem behaviors are examined in detail, it is important to understand the current status of American youth and what comprises so-called “normative” behaviors. It is not sufficient to describe the situation only in aggregate terms; there are such vastly different life scripts that are being experienced by the subgroups in this complex and diverse society. Many books on adolescents solve this problem by presenting an array of vignettes from children’s lives with detailed accounts of individuals and quotations from them. This makes more interesting reading than statistics, but vignettes are not necessarily generalizable to the whole society. For an overview of the “setting,” describing the youth population and the social and economic characteristics of various subpopulations, we turn largely to census data. For a look at health status, we rely on national health statistics. However, to gain an understanding of adolescent developmental issues, different kinds of information are required. For these insights, the works of social and behavioral scientists based on small samples of subjects and personal observations will be explored. In 1987, there were about 28 million 10- to 17-year-olds in the United States, with half a million more boys than girls. More males are born than females, but the sex ratio reverses as populations grow older. This becomes an important factor when individuals reach the age of marriage (about 23 for females and 25 for males) because it controls the pool of partners, a particular problem for marriage-age black females, who outnumber marriage-age black males. The number of young people will increase over the next decade by about 10 percent because the number of births has increased every year since 1973, when the current 15-year-olds were born. One way to understand the expected change is to compare the number of births in 1986, almost 3.76 million, with the number in 1973, 3.13 million. By the year 2000, babies born in 1986 will be 14 years old, right in the center of our population of interest. This group will be enlarged by immigrants as well as by increased numbers of births.

Full textAbstract:
Problems of mental health and behaviour in children are multidisciplinary in nature and optimal treatment is often multimodal. This article focuses on aspects of psychopharmacology that has special relevance in children and adolescents, especially the recent controversies. In general, this article provides information about classes of medication and not detailed information about specific medicines. Treatment recommendations of the specific disorders have been dealt within the appropriate chapters. The use of psychotropic medication in children is higher in the United States than in many other countries, and polypharmacy is common. About 1 per cent of overall medical consultations visits by children and adolescents in 2003–2004 in the US resulted in a second-generation antipsychotic (SGA) prescription. The majority of the visits involving antipsychotics were by Caucasian boys aged over nine years, visiting specialists, without private insurance, with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, psychosis, depression, disruptive disorder, or anxiety. >Pre-school (2 to 4 year olds) psychotropic medication use, between 1995 and 2001 increased across the US for stimulants, antipsychotics, and antidepressants, while the use of anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics and anticonvulsants remained stable across these years, suggesting non-psychiatric medical usage. Ethnicity may influence differential prescription rates; for example, as compared to Caucasian youths, African-American youths are less likely to be prescribed psychotropic medications especially methylphenidate.

The aim of this study was to establish whether the dimensions of type D personality – negative affectivity and social inhibition, and sense of coherence determine adolescents’ health behaviours. The research was conducted on the group of 211 people – 96 boys and 115 girls aged 17–19 years (M = 18.01, SD = 0.49). The research tools were: Health Behaviours Inventory (IZZ), author: Z. Juczyński (2001); The scale to measure the type D personality DS-14, Author: J. Denollet, Polish adaptation of N. Ogińska-Bulik, Z. Juczyński, J. Denollet (Juczyński, Ogińska-Bulik, 2009); Life Orientation Questionnaire (SOC-29), author: A. Antonovsky, Polish adaptation of J. Koniarek, B. Dudek, Z. Makowska (1993). In order to indentify variables that determine young people’s health related behaviour regression analysis and structural modeling were used. The studies have shown that in the group of boys the direct indicator of health behaviour is the dimension of sense of coherence – a sense of meaningfullness, while in the group of girls – a type D personality dimension, which is negative affectivity.

OBJECTIVES This study analyzes and compares exposures to prescription opioids among children and adolescents younger than 20 years old in the United States. METHODS Data from the National Poison Data System for 2000 through 2015 were analyzed. RESULTS Poison control centers received reports of 188 468 prescription opioid exposures among children aged <20 years old from 2000 through 2015. The annual number and rate of exposures increased early in the study period, but declined after 2009, except for buprenorphine exposures, which increased during the last 3 study years. Hydrocodone accounted for the largest proportion of exposures (28.7%), and 47.1% of children exposed to buprenorphine were admitted to a health care facility (HCF). The odds of being admitted to an HCF were higher for teenagers than for children aged 0 to 5 years (odds ratio [OR]: 2.86; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.78–2.94) or children aged 6 to 12 years (OR: 6.62; 95% CI: 6.06–7.02). Teenagers also had greater odds of serious medical outcomes than did children aged 0 to 5 years (OR: 3.03; 95% CI: 2.92–3.15) or children aged 6 to 12 years (OR: 4.59; 95% CI: 4.21–5.00). The rate of prescription opioid–related suspected suicides among teenagers increased by 52.7% during the study period. CONCLUSIONS Prescription opioid–related HCF admissions and serious medical outcomes were higher among teenagers. Contrary to trends for other prescription opioids, exposures to buprenorphine have increased in recent years; children aged 0 to 5 years accounted for almost 90% of buprenorphine exposures. These findings indicate that additional prevention efforts are needed.

Cervical cancer is a leading cancer among women, being the second most gynecological cancers in the developing countries, accounting for about 6 million new cases every year and 3.5 million deaths. The Cervical cancer is easily detectable by simple screening tests, like visual inspection methods, pap smear examination, and the recent HPV DNA test methods. If the precancer conditions are diagnosed, treatment can be done by ablation or excisional methods. The women can be followed by periodic cervical biopsy examinations, ideally once in 6 months for 3 years. If, at the end of 3 years, there is no evidence of cervical precancer, then the women will not develop invasive cancer stages. The HPV vaccination of adult and adolescent girls, offer more than 90% protection against Cervical Cancer. Thus, Cervical cancers are early detectable, effectively treatable and successfully preventable. The author, having been the Principal Investigator for one of the largest Cervical Cancer Screening programs in India, atAmbillikai, Tamil Nadu, India, during 2000–2007, which was in collaboration with the International Agency for Research on Cancer – IARC / WHO. The program was successful in reducing the Incidence Rate of Cervical Cancer by 25% and Mortality Rate due to Cervical Cancer, by 35% in a span of 5 years. From the experiences of this “Proof of Concept” project, the author has advocated, “SMASH” strategy of Raj©, for Cervical Cancer Elimination by 2030, which is deliberated in detail, i n this chapter. Hope that, this will serve as a Global Public Health Treatise, for the health care planners and providers in particular and the community at large, worldwide.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this chapter is to examine young women’s experience of mental health problems during the perinatal period. We shall argue that women who were young at the time of their transition to parenthood are at elevated risk for perinatal depression, in their first and subsequent pregnancies. Evidence for the impact of perinatal depression on children’s development will be outlined, and we propose that the elevated rates of mental health problems among young mothers may partly account for the increased prevalence of adverse outcomes often seen among their children. However, for these young women and their offspring, the impact of perinatal depression may be compounded by many other social, psychological, and biological risk factors, and young women’s circumstances may exacerbate their own and their children’s difficulties. Therefore any clinical strategies regarding the identification and treatment of depression during the antenatal and postnatal months may need to take into account the age of women, with women bearing children earlier and later than the average presenting different challenges for health professionals. Across the industrialized nations the demographics of parenthood are changing, with both men and women first becoming parents at increasingly older ages (Bosch 1998; Martin et al. 2005; Ventura et al. 2001). In the UK for example, the average maternal age at first birth in 1971 was 23.7 years, compared to the present figure of 29.5 years (ONS 2012). Correspondingly, over the last four decades, birth rates for women aged 30 and over have increased extensively, whilst those for women in their teenage years and early twenties have declined (ONS 2012, 2007). Since the 1970s, the proportion of children born to women aged 20–24 in the UK has been decreasing, with women aged 30–34 years now displaying the highest birth rates (ONS 2010). These changes in the demography of parenthood are not confined to the UK with similar trends toward delayed first births observed across Western Europe (Ventura et al. 2001), the United States (Mirowsky 2002), New Zealand (Woodward et al. 2006) and Australia (Barnes 2003). Thus, a transition to parenthood during adolescence and the early 20s is non-normative for Western women, and the implications of this ‘off-time’ transition (Elder 1997, 1998) for the mother’s and the child’s mental health warrants attention.

Full textAbstract:
The interest of health communication scholars hover on relationships between HIV/AIDS message exposure and HIV knowledge, attitude and practice as the epidemic is no longer seen as only a health issue; its ramifications cover all aspects of society from economic, social structures to psychological makeup of communities. The media, under normal condition are expected to complement governments’ efforts in achieving set objectives on such important issues as combating HIV/AIDS through the creation of awareness, mobilization and advocacy among other things, such as contained in the cardinal tenets of Development Media Theory. This is more so given that the only remedy to the epidemic is prevention through advocacy on the promotion of safe practices. Mass media play a central role in this direction. Exposure to HIV/AIDS messages especially on the mass media among adolescents in sub Saharan Africa has been reported as abysmal in the early 2000s, but now given growth in infrastructure and development in technology and program appeal, there emerges a need for reassessment. Given that communication particularly through the media is considered a major preventive strategy, this chapter set out to highlight a compressive review of scholarly works on HIV/AIDS media exposure, knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) across regions of the world, since the 80s. It is however concluded that the study of media use and HIV/AIDS KAP leaves much to be explored conceptually, methodologically and empirically.

Background: Recently there has been increased interest in family-based interventions both to deter adolescent substance abuse in general and to prevent adolescent cigarette smoking specifically. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between family behavior of smoking and smoking behavior in adolescents. Subjects and Method: A meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted by collecting published articles from 2000 to 2020 in PubMed, Springer Link, and Google Scholar databases. This study used “parenting style” OR “family influence” AND “smoking” AND “behaviour” AND “adolescents” AND “cross sectional” keywords to obtain the articles. The inclusion criteria were full text, using English or Indonesia language, and using cross-sectional study. The selected articles were analyzed by Revman 5.3. Results: 6 articles from Lithuania, Kelantan, China, Weh Island (Indonesia), and United States reported that smoking behavior of family member increased the likelihood of smoking behavior in adolescents (aOR= 2.05; 95% CI= 1.69 to 2.49, p<0.001) with I2= 0%.

Background: Prevalence of adolescents’ unwanted pregnancy is relatively high in Asia (43%), Africa (45%), and both Latin America and Caribbean (74%). Unwanted pregnancy at an early age is correlated with social consequences as well as increased health risks for both mother and infants. Peer-based intervention is a program to promote sexual and reproductive health, including the prevention of unwanted pregnancy. This study aimed to assess the influence of peer-based intervention on unwanted pregnancy prevention behaviors in adolescents. Subject dan Method: Meta-analysis was conducted based on PRISMA guidelines. Articles with randomized controlled trial design published in 2000-2020 were included for meta-analysis. These articles were searched from PubMed, Science Direct, Research Gate, and Google Scholar databases. Keyword used “peer education” OR “peer led” OR “peer counseling” OR “peer approach” OR “peer teaching” OR “peer mentoring” AND “unwanted pregnancy” AND adolescent AND “randomized controlled trial”. Articles that met eligibility criteria were analyzed using Revman 5.4. Results: Ten articles met the criteria for a meta-analysis with sample size 15,439. This study showed that peer-based intervention (RR=1.12; 95% CI=0.95 to 1.32; p=0.160) improved unwanted pregnancy prevention behavior in adolescents, but it was statistically non-significant.

Background: Adolescents living in institutional settings are more susceptible to the EBPs than others as they are deprived of a family's love, support, attachment and care. Objective: To assess the prevalence of EBPs among adolescents and explore the perceptions of caretakers living in children’s home. Method: A mixed method, descriptive cross-sectional study among 134 adolescents from 5 children’s homes of Gokarneshwor Municipality, was done. All the adolescents from 10-19 years living in the children’s home were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire, Youth Self-Report (YSR-11/18) 2001, developed by Achenbach System of Empirical Based Assessment and self-developed socio- demographic questionnaires. Data was coded and analyzed using SPSS (25). Descriptive statistics and Chi square were used to analyze the quantitative data, while narrative summary was used for qualitative through IDI. Results: Prevalence of EBPs was 48.5% among the adolescents. While the EBPs factors prevalence was found to be anxious depression (46.3%), withdrawn depressed (46.3%), attention problems (46.3%), somatic complaints (50.7%), social problems (42.5%), thought problems (38.8%), attention problems (46.3%), rule breaking behaviour (41%) and aggressive problems (50%). The occurrence of EBPs was significantly associated with status of adolescent (ꭓ2=6.015, p=0.014, df=1). Similarly, there was the significant association between dependent variable (prevalence of EBPs and EBP variables such as anxious depressed (ꭓ2=20.078, p<0.001, df=1), withdrawn depressed (ꭓ2=38.616, p<0.001, df=1), social problems (ꭓ2=32.678, p<0.001, df=1), attention problems (ꭓ2=30.479, p<0.001, df=1), rule breaking behavior (ꭓ2=25.322, p<0.001, df=1), thought problems (ꭓ2=31.14, p<0.001, df=1), somatic complaints (ꭓ2=20.248, p<0.001, df=1) and aggressive problem (ꭓ2=32.536, p<0.001, df=1). Conclusion: EBPs are a serious mental health concern among adolescents and especially living in children’s homes. The provision of the appropriate counseling, life skill educations and ECAs engagements help to address the EBP factors. Keywords: Adolescents, EBPs, Children’s home, YSR, Gokarneshwor Municipality, Nepal.

Full textAbstract:
With our ever-changing society there seems to be more pressures on young people. Recent epidemiological studies in Australia have found that adolescent mental health is an important public health problem (Sawyer et al., 2001). As many as one in five Australian children aged from 4 to 17 have significant mental health concerns (Zubrick, Silburn, Burton, & Blair, 2000). However, only one in four young people receive professional help (Sawyer, et al., 2001). Schools in Australia provide school counselors to assist students, yet many young people do not avail themselves of this service. However, young people do seek help from telephone help-lines (in 2002 almost 1.1 million phone calls were made to Kids Help Line) and from the Internet (Kids Help Line, 2003a). Perhaps more anonymous forms of counseling, such as cybercounseling, could deliver a more effective service within a school setting. The difficulties and benefits of school based webcounseling are discussed in terms of therapeutic, ethical and legal issues, as well as technical problems and recent research outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Obesity is now replacing undernutrition and infectious diseases as the leading cause of ill health. It is considered as one of the greatest medical challenges to health in the United States; over 65% of American adults are either overweight or obese leading to 320,000 deaths each year in the United States (Kopelman, 2005). The annual medical costs of obesity in the United States are enormous (Bhattacharya and Bundorf, 2009). Globally, according to the World Health Organization, there are more than one billion overweight adults, of which at least 300 million are clinically obese. A recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data (2003–2006) has showed that for children aged 6–11 years and 12–19 years, the prevalence of overweight was 17.0% and 17.6%, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
According to current definitions [1], individuals ages 2 to 18 years are determined to be overweight (≥ 85th and < 95th percentile [of prior population distributions]) or obese (≥ 95th percentile) based on U.S. age- and sex-specific body mass index (BMI; kg/m 2) charts updated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2000 [2]. The prevalence of being obese among children has increased over the last several decades and is a major public health concern. A recent survey [3] indicated that 16.3% of children and adolescents aged 2 through 19 years were at or above the 95 th percentile of the BMI-for-age growth charts.

Full textAbstract:
"It is now recognized that the ""cancer experience"" extends beyond diagnosis, treatment, and end-of-life care. Relative to individuals who have not faced a cancer diagnosis, cancer survivors report increased mental health concerns and lowered physical and psychological well-being (Langeveld et al., 2004). Health-related quality of life encompasses overall physical (e.g., energy, fatigue, pain, etc.) and psychological functioning (e.g., emotional well-being, etc.), as well as general health perceptions (Hays & Morales, 2001). Nayak and colleagues (2017) reported that 82.3% of cancer patients had below-average quality of life scores, with the lowest scores found in the general, physical, and psychological well-being domains. Research suggests that various positive lifestyle variables, including social connectedness, leisure activity, and mindfulness practices are associated with increased quality of life in cancer patients (Courtens et al., 1996; Fangel et al., 2013; Garland et al., 2017). In this study, 350 cancer survivors completed an online questionnaire package that included a detailed demographic questionnaire with medical and online support and leisure activity questions. Additional measures were included to assess quality of life (QLQ-C30; Aaronson et al., 1993), social connectedness (Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults, SELSA-S; DiTommaso et al., 2004), and mindfulness (Adolescent and Adult Mindfulness Scale, AAMS; Droutman et al., 2018). Results show that increased QOL is predicted by increased medical support, lower family loneliness, self-acceptance, and engaging in a variety of leisure activities. Encouraging family support, including the patient in the decision-making process, encouraging a variety of physically possible leisure activities, and normalizing negative emotions surrounding diagnosis and disease symptoms are all ways that overall QoL can be improved."

Sultana, Munawar. Culture of silence: A brief on reproductive health of adolescents and youth in Pakistan. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/pgy19.1006.
Full textAbstract:
Previous research on the reproductive health of adolescents and youth in Pakistan has not addressed the diversity of adolescent experiences based on social status, residence, and gender. To understand the transition from adolescence to adulthood more fully, it is important to assess social, economic, and cultural aspects of that transition. This brief presents the experience of married and unmarried young people (males and females) from different social strata and residence regarding their own attitudes and expectations about reproductive health. More young people aged 15–24 live in Pakistan now than at any other time in its history—an estimated 36 million in 2004. Recognizing the dearth of information on this large group of young people, the Population Council undertook a nationally representative survey from October 2001 to March 2002. The analysis presented here comes from Adolescents and Youth in Pakistan 2001–02: A Nationally Representative Survey. The survey sought information from youth aged 15–24, responsible adults in the household, and other community members in 254 communities. A total of 6,585 households were visited and 8,074 young people were interviewed.

The impact of life skills education on adolescent sexual risk behaviors. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2003.1001.
Full textAbstract:
In response to the escalating HIV/AIDS epidemic, in 1998 the South African Ministry of Education mandated implementation of a comprehensive life skills education program in all secondary schools by 2005. The Life Skills Program aims to increase knowledge and develop skills to help youth protect themselves from HIV infection and to safeguard their reproductive health. Although it is too early to assess the long-term impact of this initiative, the phased implementation of life skills education provides an opportunity to assess short-term impact. To measure the effects of exposure to topics within the life skills curriculum on sexual and reproductive health knowledge and behaviors among youth, the University of Natal-Durban School of Development Studies, Horizons, The Population Council’s Policy Research Division, and Tulane University undertook a prospective study in KwaZulu Natal Province, South Africa, from 1999 to 2001. This brief considers the impact of the life skills program on a population-based sample of youth in two districts in the province.

South Africa: Providers should encourage sexually active youth to use condoms. Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2001.1028.
Full textAbstract:
To assess the effectiveness of youth centers in reaching adolescents with reproductive health information, life skills, and services, the Reproductive Health Research Unit in KwaZulu Natal and the Population Council conducted an assessment of 12 youth centers and their affiliated peer education programs. The centers were run by the KwaZulu Natal Department of Health, the loveLife program, and the Youth and Adolescent Reproductive Health Program. Researchers also examined young people’s use of condoms as protection against pregnancy and HIV/AIDS. Data sources for this study, conducted in 2000, were an inventory of youth center services, interviews with center staff and clients, service statistics, and community surveys of 1,399 young people aged 12–24 and their parents. As noted in this brief, the study found that many sexually active young people in South Africa are knowledgeable about the sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS but do not use condoms consistently. Service providers can do more to promote condom use among youth by placing condom dispensers in private places and counseling youth on correct condom use and safer sexual practices.

South Africa: Who uses youth centers and why? Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2001.1029.
Full textAbstract:
In 2000, the Reproductive Health Research Unit in KwaZulu Natal and the Population Council conducted an assessment of 12 youth centers and 7 affiliated peer education programs. The 12 centers, located in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas, offer very different services. The two centers of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health focus on providing reproductive health (RH) information and services to adolescents. The six centers of the Youth and Adolescent Reproductive Health Project provide a broader range of youth-friendly RH services, including counseling and life skills education, as well as modest recreational activities. The four centers run by loveLife have large multipurpose facilities with a wide range of recreational activities, vocational and life skills training, and RH services. This brief states that less than one-third of local youth have ever visited the youth centers in this study area of South Africa. More than half of the youth center visitors were sexually experienced but visiting a center had little discernible effect on RH knowledge or safer sexual behavior. Youth want friendly, nonjudgmental providers; youth-only facilities and young providers are less important.

India: Enhancing girls' life skills requires long-term commitment. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh16.1003.
Full textAbstract:
While adolescents in India face a rapidly changing economic environment, the choices available to unmarried girls are very different from those available to boys. Girls are much less likely than boys to remain unmarried into their twenties, complete middle school, or generate income. Due to social norms, they have limited control over their life choices, and are less likely than boys to be allowed mobility within or beyond their immediate community. In 2001, the Population Council teamed with CARE India to test a pilot intervention to enhance skills and expand life choices for adolescent girls living in the slums of Allahabad. The 10-month intervention tested the effect of the skills intervention on the girls’ reproductive health knowledge, social contacts and mobility, self-esteem, and perception of gender roles. The impacts were assessed using survey responses from girls who were interviewed in both baseline and endline surveys. As noted in this brief, girls and their parents found the life skills training acceptable, but the intervention had little overall impact.

Egypt: NGOs need to join forces to end FGC. Population Council, 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2000.1027.
Full textAbstract:
Until recently, the practice of female genital cutting (FGC) has been nearly universal in Egypt. However, a 1998 national survey found the first signs of a decline in the practice among adolescents since 1994. Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) working in community development, health, and women’s rights have played a leading role in advocating eradication of FGC in Egypt. To document and assess the impact of anti-FGC programs, the Population Council conducted an assessment from August 1999 to February 2000. Researchers telephoned numerous Egyptian NGOs to identify those most actively involved in anti-FGC programs. Then they conducted in-depth interviews with officials of 15 NGOs, as well as staff of the Ministry of Health and Population, UNICEF, and the United Nations Population Fund. As concluded in this brief, 15 Egyptian nongovernmental organizations are actively involved in programs to eradicate the practice of female genital cutting. To make these programs more effective, NGOs should form coalitions, engage in advocacy, train activists in communication skills, and evaluate the impact of their programs.
